ACT Rules Community Group - Past Calendar

ACT-Rules CG meeting

This is a working session, not our usual meeting. Attendance is optional. Feel free to only join for part of the meeting, or skip all together if not convenient.
The "office hours" meeting is a time we'll block off for whoever's available to collaborate on ACT Rules. We'll spend the time working together on issues, reviews, new rules, etc. This is also a perfect opportunity for people to get help with GitHub, if that's not your thing. During office hours, at least one chair or facilitator will be available to help out with any issues your working, review you need, or anything else.
Hope you'll all be able to attend a part of it. If this goes well, we intend to run an office hours meeting once every 4 weeks.

This meeting will focus on identifying and resolving conflicts between WCAG3 and ACT rules.

From the email [https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-silver/2021May/0042.html] from Wilco:
This Friday we will continue our conversations about how to incorporate ACT
work into WCAG 3. In preparation of that meeting it would be good for folks
to have reviewed two ACT rules related to headings:

• Document has heading for non-repeated content:
  https://act-rules.github.io/rules/047fe0
  This rule is one of the atomic rules used in the Bypass Blocks of
  Repeated Content rule. A page fails the bypass blocks if it fails all of
  its atomic rules.

• Heading is descriptive: https://act-rules.github.io/rules/b49b2e
  This rule checks that a heading describes the content immediately after
  it.

Please note, these rules are approved by the ACT Rules Community Group.
They have not yet been reviewed by the Accessibility Guidelines Working
Group. These can be considered as proposals for rules, rather than fully
accepted and published.
